The reviewer for Variety found that the director had demonstrated “his thoroughgoing knowledge of and delight in film history, yet his striving for a 1970s screwball vibe feels too forced and artificial”.[5] In Público's Ípsilon, Luís Miguel Oliveira gave the film two out of five stars.[6]

The film was nominated for the Swiss Film Award in three categories: Best Fiction Film, Best Screenplay (Lionel Baier and Julien Bouissoux), and Best Actor (Patrick Lapp) [7] but did not win, losing to I Am the Keeper in each category.[8]
